CentOS is one of the most widely used Operating Systems for hosting servers. It's one of the countless Linux releases out there, yet what differentiates it from all of the others is the long-term support, which ensures that you will always have a stable and safe OS. Every CentOS version that is released is supported for a decade, which is much longer than with almost every other OS out there. CentOS also has a much larger developer community than other distributions, therefore in case you experience any kind of problem or have some questions, you can promptly find the data that you need. CentOS is regarded as among the best server Operating Systems, as it's very stable and secure, that makes it very reliable even if you host confidential data. Since it is open-source, you will be able to modify every part of it and customize it according to your requirements, not to mention that the overall cost for a CentOS-based server will be lower, since you won't have to pay license fees of any sort.
CentOS in Dedicated Servers
CentOS is one of the Operating Systems that we offer with all our dedicated server packages. Throughout the sign-up process, you will be able to choose from the 32-bit and the 64-bit version of the OS and make sure that the software environment on your new server meets the specifications of the applications that you want to set up. Unlike other Operating Systems, CentOS also allows you to choose between various website hosting Control Panels, based on what you need the server for. With Hepsia, for example, you'll be able to manage the whole server like just a single account irrespective of the number of domains which you host, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you're able to make a different account for each and every domain, which will give you the opportunity to start a hosting reseller business. In case you don't pick any Control Panel, you will receive the server with CentOS only, as the software that comes with the Control Panels won't be installed. We also offer regular OS updates as part of our Managed Services package, so you will not need to devote time and effort downloading and installing the latest and most secure software on your dedicated server.
